nautim Posted February 3, 2010 Report Share Posted February 3, 2010 So far today - Aith, Happyhansel, Skeld and Sandness. THere was also something about no Leask's bus through North Nesting, though I presume that those who use it will have been informed by now? Other than that it was just wait and see what other schools said. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Siffy Posted February 3, 2010 Report Share Posted February 3, 2010 As police advice not to travel, then my kids will not be travelling. What a bad descision by Education Dept. to open schools when police are advicing against travel. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
